Okay here we go!
I'm not sure if these have come up before, if someone has already got
one perilously close please disqualify that entry for me! ;)
- Rebellious Limbs. Subject's limbs are somewhat self-aware - and
self-interested! In extreme cases they may actually hold a plebsicite
and depart the body en masse. In lesser cases mistreated members of
the limb classes may attempt to secede alone - typically while the
subject is sleeping.
- Emotional Vision. Subject suffers from a kind of aphasia, combined
with the ability to perceive visually the emotional makeup of others.
It becomes impossible to recognise or meaningfully articulate the
image of another's face, but detailed impressions of their emotional
natures replace this. The idiom for these impressions could stem from
the subject's culture - or a different one entirely (requiring
practice at interpretation before any meaningful information is
gleaned).
- Turns To Jelly At Slightest Provocation. Subject turns to a
basically indestructible chaos ooze when prompted by *something*.
Possibilities include: when scared, when aroused, when angry, when
jealous, when ambitious, when near cows, when near women, when near
men, when in battle, when attending important social functions, when
told off by one's superiors.
